Important Note On Donations

Donations have always been much appreciated in Cuba, however the Cuban Government has begun to strictly enforce a no-donation policy for items brought in by tourists. Anything that you bring for the Cuban people should be called gifts instead of donations.

Please see the following guidelines for bringing gifts:

Do not bring large amounts of the same item - this is considered a donation and will raise red flags with Cuban officials and could result in confiscation

Consult your guide once you are in Cuba as to the best time to give away the gifts and to who - they are your expert resource on the ground

If you are unsure about what gifts to bring please consult with your travel coordinator
